Answer:
A bicycle locked to a bike
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of an object when an object is moving. The mathematical expression for the kinetic energy of an object is given by :
Where
m is the mass of an object
v is the velocity of an object
First option : A car driving down a road, the car is moving i.e. it will possess kinetic energy.
Second option : A soccer ball rolling down a hill, the ball is moving i.e. it will possess kinetic energy
Third option : A bicycle locked to a bike, neither bicycle nor bike is moving i.e. it will not possess kinetic energy.
Fourth option : A satellite orbiting Earth, the satellite is moving i.e. it will possess kinetic energy.
Hence, "a bicycle locked to a bike " has least amount of kinetic energy.

Answer
given,
mass of the person, m = 50 Kg
length of scaffold = 6 m
mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg
distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m
Tension in the vertical rope = ?
now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.
T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g
T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8 + 70 x 9.8
T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)
system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.
taking moment about rope with tension T₂.
now,
T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0
'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.
6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3
6 T₁ = 4263
T₁ = 710.5 N
from equation (1)
T₂ = 1176 - 710.5
T₂ = 465.5 N
hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N
